The Guarantee Scheme is designed to support you

As an innovator on your journey to grow your business, you may face difficulties with obtaining the funds you need during the growth phases. The Guarantee Scheme, a federal government backed program sponsored by the Ministry of Finance, is about bridging that financing gap without diluting your equity.

What differentiates the Guarantee Scheme from other options in the market, is that it provides financial support through a government-backed guarantee, without taking equity, so that you can grow your business faster.

Badr Ward, CEO

We partnered with the Guarantee Scheme to help scale and grow our business in the field of EdTech, tackling Early Childhood Development in the UAE and across the region to empower future generations by equipping them with 21st Century Skills. Parallel to financing support, MBRIF constantly helps with business vision and strategy. Through the provision of a guarantee by the MBRIF Guarantee Scheme we were able to obtain the necessary financing from our Bank in order to facilitate our innovation activities targeted at sustainable growth. We highly appreciate the availability of a long-term state-backed guarantee in order to introduce our new innovative product line and consequently increase both client-base and product sales.

The Guarantee Scheme was and is a key enabler to our success. They were willing to roll up their sleeves, perform real due diligence, and to do the work necessary. MBRIF shares our vision for food security, water conservation and economic diversification and they were willing to take the risks necessary to turn that vision into a reality.
